Book Excerpts: Relational Presentation

Saturday, May 12, 2007, posted by Geetesh Bajaj at 6:49 am

This book extract is from Relational Presentation: A Visually Interactive Approach by Robert Lane, a book describes all aspects of a presentation style known as Relational Presentation.

Relational Presentation methods completely change the way speakers use presentation software such as PowerPoint. With this approach, a presenter does not simply advance from slide-to-slide, or bullet point-to-bullet point, as is the case with standard performances. Instead, he or she has dynamic access to potentially thousands of slides, any of which can be displayed at any time, in any order, within seconds.

PPTmovie, a new product that we are reviewing today, allows you to convert any PowerPoint presentation to one of the several video formats it supports. These output formats allow you to burn your presentation to a CD or DVD and play it back on a DVD player. You can also make your presentation-movie available on YouTube or another video-sharing site or transfer it to a portable device such as iPod, PSP, or mobile phone.
